Come near me, O my Saviour!
Thy tenderness reveal;
Oh, let me know the sympathy
Which Thou for me dost feel!
I need Thee every moment!
Thine absence brings dismay;
But when the tempter hurls his darts,
‘Twere death with Thee away!
Come near me, my Redeemer,
And never leave my side!
My bark, when tossed on trouble’s sea,
The storm cannot outride,
Unless Thy word of power
Arrest the surging wave;
No voice but Thine its rage can quell;
No arm but Thine can save!
Come near me, blessed Jesus!
I need Thee in my joy,
No less than when the direst ills
My happiness destroy;
For when the sun shines o’er me,
And flowers strew my way,
Without Thy wise and guiding hand,
More easily I stray.
Be near me, mighty Saviour,
When comes the latest strife!
For Thou hast through death’s shadows passed,
And opened the gates of life;
And when among the ransomed
I stand with crown and palm,
To Thee, Divine, unfailing Friend,
I’ll raise th’eternal psalm!
